White Space

by Isaac Weil
Poetry
White space exists as a body on which we apply the pigments of text. Like a breath and silence between spoken words, white space is not only the body as a canvas, but also the body as a structure. It provides then the border, which text must transcend. In the process of breaking the border, the text gives purpose to white space, and by being the border, white space gives life to text; for text lives on the bridges that span gaps, in the shatter and the bleeding of punctuated separateness.
